Interview with International Fitness Model- Christina Hailkolopolos

How did you begin in the fitness modelling industry? 

 

I started to hit the gym to get my confidence up as I needed a boost after my then waste-of-a-time boyfriend, cheated. See? Girls, this can happen to anyone. So when someone is an ass, pick yourself up and make yourself stronger! You can do it, and you’re absolutely worth it!
Through my experiences I really believe if you do good things by others, good karma comes back around. One day while I was training, a sups company approached me. I wasn’t sure where it would lead me but I accepted the opportunity. After one shoot my photos went viral, I have since featured in almost sixty websites, four mags and all that within one year. 

what sort of  workout routine do you have to do to keep in shape?

My current weekly workout routine is:
Monday: Shoulders, Abs Tuesday: Legs Wednesday: Biceps, Triceps, Abs Thursday: Back Friday: Light over all workout, Abs Saturday: Rest Sunday: Rest > Cheat meals ; )

How strict is your diet?

My Daily diet consists of

Breakfast: Oats + Protein Powder + cinnamon + berries Snack: Protein Shake Lunch: Brown Rice + flavoured tuna + almonds, green salad (balsamic vinegar) OR Chicken breast + Greek salad, 1 plum Snack: Protein smoothie (check my FB for the recipe) Dinner: Chicken breast or fish – brown rice (if I trained in the evening) or just Greek salad (if I trained in the afternoon) Snack: Protein Shake

    What sort of opportunities have come from being a fitness model? 

   I have been in photo shoots here and overseas, featured in magazines, a music video and been a TV presenter. I also recently met my idol Arnold Schwarzenegger when he came to Australia in June this year.  

   
   Who is your inspiration?  

Jamie Eason. I used to have a picture of her on my fridge which i tore out of a magazine. At the time i didn't even know who she was only that i wanted to look like her! Now I have met her in person.
